Paperblanks Guest book Picaresque, 230 x 180 mm, 72 sheets

The collection of notebooks, guest books, tapes, kits and gliders of Paper Blancs honors the great art, history, music and science, highlighting their sophistication and significance. All items resemble old books and diaries, and thanks to the latest printing techniques recreate craftsmanship and materials from past Ages.

The beautiful purple design is inspired by a work from the Biblioth collectionèque nationale de France (BnF) from the Second French Empire (1865)–1870). The original edition is made of red Moroccan leather with complex filigree and gold dots.

Its contents were printed in 1645 by S. and G. Cramoisy – one of the first secular printers to be allowed to publish worshipbooks about the Catholic Church.
